on my other site.wwwdodgetruckworld.com the is a guy that is doing the swap and has 5 pages of pics in his threads. but why would you want to do that. the trucks frt suspension is terrible already. this will make truck nose heavy and the power you can get from a 4.7 will be the same
lets think of it this way, if you got the money to even swap out the engines with a bigger more expensive engine, then you have the stinkin money to go ahead and redo the front suspension at the same time with heavy modifications after you had them custom made!

Fixed lol [sm=smiley20.gif]

For the price...trade in your truck and get a ram with the hemi already in it.

I'll take a diesel over a hemi any day. Besides If Dodge puts a diesel in the 2010 Dakota you know someone like Gale Banks will make all kinds of performance stuff for it. 222 miles per hour and 24 miles per gallon I'll take it over a hemi. Look at Gale Banks sidewinder project. Took a stock 5.9L Cummins motor and got it up to 750hp and 24 miles per gallon.
